And I am happy to report that all these wonderful things have been accomplished this summer. And more. Including Linux being available now on the IBM Power 595 with some outstanding benchmarks, of course.

The IBM Power 595 today achieved the best 64-core SPECint_rate2006, the best 64-core Linux SPECfp_rate2006, the best 64-core SPECompM2001, and the best 64-core LINPACK result. (1)

Another thing in life worth waiting for. But I am still waiting on the tomatoes.
